Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I’m collecting all the ww1 vehicles because their models look cool, but fuck no I would never even put them in a lineup, let alone take them into battle.

I will however take out my ace crew M8 LAC (US) from time to time to have some fun sealclubbing ww1 tanks though.

I’m sorry but why should it be wrong if I find the Mark V fun over a Challenger ?

It faces weapons that completely eradicate it in every mode.
Your climb rate doesn’t matter in ground battles and naval battles because you are such a huge target, even at a large distance.
In air battles the only thing your climb rate does for you is making people not want to engage with you while the only thing you can do to win is bomb (if you ever get to the bases, that is) and most likely your bombs wouldn’t be enough to destroy the airfield (again, if you can even get there).

At least for ground, half the time they’ll be more useful than the guys in MBTs(their 1DLs, as they bought the $100 ones) as they might do some things and respwan.

I don’t see how that prevents it from being added
It is no different from any other low BR bomber, having advantatges and disadvantages


Like the B-18 being a large and slow aircraft with a massive bomb load

Or the Do 17 having a high speed but a weak bomb load


Even the TB-3M being very large (too large even for the hangar) and slow but having exceptional defensive armaments and an amazing bomb load

You are aware that the second half of that is more or less a vehicle already in game:

Well here’s just a quick look at what WW1 aircraft could look like in the British TT as 0.0-0.7 BR.

Spoiler

It says rank 1 because you can’t do rank 0.

Based on the idea of putting them at the very start of the TT before the current reserve vehicles being BR 0.0-0.7 but it could easily be a separate tab within the nation similar to how Naval is split between Bluewater and Coastal.

Just put some premiums of some aces/notable pilots as we have some aces/notable pilots as premium aircraft already. (Also as a monetary option for Gaijin as no TT is complete without a way for them to make money)

The biggest issue with a WW1 tech tree is that it makes no sense from a financial standpoint
Not enough players will spend money on them to warrant paying hundreds of thousands for 3D models for an entire TT of these aircraft

First thing I thought of when I heard the WW1 tanks were going to be in main game haha

They are about equal to the premium players.

Mainly because 60-70% of the time the people who bring low tiers to high tier seem to be playing with their monitor turned off.

I’m not only aware of that, I’m also of the opinion that the F-117 should be banned from being used in ARB.

I really wanted to play my SdKfz234/1 but since it’s been moved to 2.0 from 1.3 the full downtiers are quite rare

B-but it would be an nice reward for everyone who took part in the Event :)
Like, we have Po-2 and TB-3M :(
So why cant we keep the Zeppelin just for Fun?

Could come at a later date.
The issue is that events and their rewards are planned long in advance so making a change like that while the event is ongoing is going to be difficult. Most likely it will come with the next mark of distinction air reward or have its own dedicated event

Difficult? Ehh…
Planned long ago? Sure, but that isnt our fault and we are the players, and as an wise man said once, the Customer is allways the King…

No, not really
Customers for the most part are unknowledgeable and will often ask for unreasonable things, many times things that they themselves will dislike eventually

The aircraft reward for the event is the H.P.12 Bomber.
